One Way Or Another - Blondie - 1978
Lyrics

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya.
I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha.
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya.
I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha.
One way or another, I'm gonna see ya.
I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha.
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meetcha.
I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha.

I will drive past your house, and if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around.
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya.
I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha.
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya.
I'll getcha, I'll getcha.

One way or another, I'm gonna see ya.
I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha.
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meetcha.
I'll meetcha, ah.

And if the lights are all out, I'll follow your bus downtown,
see who's hangin' out.

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya.
I'm gonna give you the slip.
A slip of the hip, or another, I'm gonna lose ya.
I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya.
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya.
I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya.
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya.
I'm gonna give you the slip.

I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall,
where i can see it all, find out who ya call.
Lead you to the supermarket, check out some specials and rat food.
Get lost in the crowd.
One way or another, i'm gonna getcha.
I'll getcha.
I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha.
Where I can see it all, find out who ya call.

More Trivia

This is about a stalker. The lyrics are very dark and go into detail about a guy with evil intentions, but the music is very light and catchy, which masked the meaning of the song.

With radio-friendly songs like this, Blondie was one of the first Punk bands to have pop success. They played clubs like CBGB's (stands for Country, BlueGrass, Blues) with bands like The Ramones and Television, but their songs were much lighter and led to mainstream acceptance. The Police and Talking Heads are other groups that came out of that scene.

This song was used in the Rugrats movie.
